Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Pyrton
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. Whether it is barn and farm weddings and weddings in a marquee or garden, we can cook evening paella, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast.
A wedding in a small place like Pyrton frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Live paella or other catering?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Pyrton? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, timed for after the first dance.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For a summer wedding in Pyrton, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
